BLACK OAK ARKANSAS - Live, Mutha! (Atco) :: Sly Stone (or Patti Smith, if you will) may well be Staggerlee, but Jim Dandy Mangrum is indubitably Bugs Bunny, and who's to say that a jive rabbit isn't a more effective persona for meeting the trials of our times? Karma-conscious Bugs would never kill for a mere hat — even Elmer Fudd's derby — but kidding pomposity to death is something else again. Which is not even to mention how good them big rabbit feets is for boogieing. R.R.
